Production was temporarily suspended at Uzbekneftegaz’s 64 fields of the Gazli, Shurtan and Mubarek oil and gas production units Due to a long power outage on January 25, the Khududgaztaminot said.
This led to a drop in pressure in Uztransgaz’s main gas pipelines and the local networks of Khududgaztaminot. Now in a number of districts of the city of Tashkent, the Ferghana Valley, Surkhandarya and Tashkent provinces, there is a decrease in the pressure of natural gas or even no gas.
“All necessary measures are being taken to restore pressure and supply natural gas to consumers,” the statement said.
At addresses where there is currently a lack of gas or a decrease in pressure when it is supplied, it is necessary to turn off all gas-using equipment and check the premises for the absence of a gas smell. If necessary, you can call the call center at 1104 or the emergency service at 104.
The Ministry of Energy reported that the disruption of technological processes at gas fields and oil refineries led to a decrease in gas production.
For this reason, thermal power plants experience a decrease in gas pressure, which negatively affects the volume of electricity generation.
According to a government source, the Syrdarya TPP now produces only 800 MW, the Talimarjan and Turakurgan TPPs are not operating due to lack of gas.
